Qentlen:

     We refer to your letter dated August 17, 1972, and subsequent cor-
respondence, protesting onbehalf of Food Technology Corporation (Tc)
against the award of a contract to any other firm under invitation for
bids Mo. DAAA21-73-B-0007, issued at Picatiuny Arsenal, Dover, New
Jersey.

     The invitatlon was issued on July 13, 1972, for an optical screen-
Ing system for cloth defect inspection. On August 9, 1972, the rollow-
lng bids were received end opewed;

               ZIA Asnociates, Inc.         $ 17,775.

               LkM   Services, Inc.           18,.24.

               Williamson Corporation         19,700.

               Food Technology Corporation    62300.

               General Scanning, Inc.        169,000.

     The agency proposes to award the contract to ZTA as the low bidder.
However, the award has been withheld pending our resolution of this
protest.

     You eontend that the equipment required by the performance speci-
fications set forth in the invitation represents a significant advance
in the state of the art far beyond the capability of the three low
bidders. It is your position that the prices of these bidders indicate
their miunderstanding of the couplexity of the procurement. in this
